SOCIAL 10-1
I did a homework check on your Chapter 1 Key Terms and Questions today at the beginning of class. Most of today's class was spent getting ready for the Illustrated Concept Map Assignment (which is due on Wednesday, February 22nd). You some time to brainstorm, look at exemplars, and plan out your concept web. Please see below how to properly cite images for this project.
Your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions are due on Monday, February 13th. You also have to complete your global connections map by tomorrow (Friday, February 10th). The instructions for completing this mapping assignment are below.
SOCIAL 10-1 WORLD GEOGRAPHY TEST STUDY GUIDE:
This test will take place on Monday, February 13th. It is simply a country and capital cities identification test. You will be given a world map with certain countries, capital cities, and places identified and you need to be able to write out what country it is. Here are the countries that may appear on the test:
- any of the EU countries (there are 28 countries in the EU)
- any of the NATO countries (there's some overlap here with the EU, but not all EU countries are members of NATO)
- any of the G7 countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom
- full members of MERCOSUR: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and other associate members or countries that are achieving membership in MERCOSUR, such as: Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador
- to ask you to know ALL of the countries in the African Union would be cruel, so we'll focus on countries that came up last year or will likely be in the news this year: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan
- other very important countries that will be in the news this year, or that we'll be talking about, or get mentioned in your textbook: Cuba, Mexico, China, India, Myanmar (Burma), Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Philippines, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel
- **BIG HINT: if a country is a member of a few of these international organizations then there's a STRONG possibility that they will be on the test!!**

GLOBAL CONNECTIONS MAP ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
Here are the instructions for the map (which is due on Friday, February 10th):
- your map must have a title ("Global Connections Map")
- you do not need compass directions on your map
- you do not need a border for your map
- you must have a simple key on the front of the map and a detailed key on the back on the map
- your simple key will consist of the following: 5-6 colored boxes (depending on how many categories you had for your 25 item chart) which will be labeled- food, clothing, electronics, entertainment, household goods, miscellaneous AND you must also draw a colored dot and label it "people" (for the information from the Global Bingo game that we played)
- you will only color countries and label ones that you have a connection to through the 25 item chart (for example, you own a sombrero that is from Mexico, you would color Mexico and label it "Mexico")
- there will only be 5-6 colors on the map, you don't need to have 25 different colors for each of your 25 items
- you also have to label the 16 people that you talked to during our Global Bingo game, they will be represented by colored circles (pick a common color for all people) and numbers (1-16, if you didn't talk to 16 people, you label as many as you talked to)--you do not color the countries that are represented on your Global Bingo card, you simply draw a circle on the country, color it, put a number beside it, and label the country (for example, if the only connection you have to Australia is that one of your classmates went on a vacation there, you draw the circle, write the number beside the circle, and label the country "Australia"-- you don't color the country)
- on the detailed key on the back of your map, you will be recreating your 25 item chart (make sure that you have the categories clearly colored and matching the simple key on the front of the map) and the information from the Global Bingo card (clearly identify people by number) Your Global Connections Map is due on Friday, February 10th.
This should help Social 10-1 students who are working on their Illustrated Concept Map Assignments. Of course, if you use Chicago or MLA, the citations may look slightly different.
IMAGE CITATIONS IN APA FORMAT:
STEP 1
Most of you will probably use Google for your image search. Just type in your image search term. I typed in The Holocaust.
STEP 2
A bunch of different images will pop up. Just click on one that you like. I clicked on the first image and a pop-up screen will show you the image more closely.
STEP 3
Click on "View Image". In the address bar you will see a specific URL for the image. This is what you need for your image citation. It should end in either .jpg or .png. or .svg or some other file extension that indicates that it is an image file.
STEP 4
If you're working in Microsoft Word, click on the References tab. You can select the Style of citation here (MLA, Chicago, APA, etc.). If you need to insert an in-tezt citation, you click on Insert Citation. If you want to start building a Bibliography, you can Insert Citation or Manage Sources.
STEP 5
You'll get a pop-up dialogue box like the one pictured below. I filled in the fields for the image that I picked. There are also online citation machines available as well, such as EasyBib (http://www.easybib.com/)
